Help your pupils develop a strong understanding of mass, capacity, and temperature with our carefully structured Year 2 resources, designed to align with White Rose small steps. These high-quality, engaging materials will support pupils in building key measurement skills, ensuring they develop confidence in using scales, comparing different measures, and applying their knowledge in practical contexts.
Comprehensive Coverage of Key Measurement Concepts
Our resources cover every aspect of the Year 2 mass, capacity, and temperature objectives, providing structured lessons that build on prior knowledge and introduce new concepts in an accessible way. Each small step includes child-friendly, age-appropriate activities that encourage hands-on learning, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning.
Mass and Weight Resources
Pupils begin by understanding the concept of weight and mass before moving on to measuring objects using standard units. Engaging activities help them compare different masses, ensuring they can identify heavier and lighter objects with accuracy. They will also develop their ability to measure mass in grams and kilograms, learning how to read scales and use appropriate measuring equipment effectively.
Capacity and Volume Resources
Building on their knowledge of mass, pupils explore capacity and volume, developing an understanding of how much liquid a container can hold. Practical, hands-on activities allow them to measure and compare volumes in millilitres and litres, helping them grasp real-world applications of these measurements. Carefully designed challenges encourage them to think critically about capacity and use mathematical vocabulary with confidence.
Temperature Resources
Pupils will learn to measure, compare, and describe temperature using degrees Celsius, interpreting simple thermometers and recognising common temperatures in everyday life. Activities encourage them to think about temperature in different contexts, such as weather, cooking, and personal comfort, helping them apply their learning in meaningful ways.
Applying Mathematical Operations to Measurement
Once pupils have developed a secure understanding of mass, capacity, and temperature, they will move on to using the four operations to solve real-life measurement problems. These activities help to reinforce addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills while deepening their understanding of how different units relate to one another.
